which side should I pick?

Well, first of all, you say which side you PREFER?
We will most likely put you on that side, but to control the
numbers and make the game the most fun, we will cap the
numbers on the teams if necessary. (See update on the home page) Aside from that, each side
will have it's advantages and disadvantages, as well as
perks.

The North KoreansThese are the bad guys.
There is a certain appeal to being the bad boys. This side
can wear whatever they want to wear, and shoot whatever type
of marker they want to shoot. If you lose contact with your commander, a good rule of
thumb is harass, delay and stop whatever the Marines are
trying to do. You definitely want to communicate and
work with your commanders as much as possible because the
side that is the most strategic and well coordinated will
probably win.

A good North Koreans
terrorist (an oxymoron if I ever heard one!) will most likely like to ambush, snipe and be
sneaky. The North Koreans want to unify Korea (under North Korean control, of course). This means they don't want to kill the local citizenry, but enlist them in the Cause.

The new North Koreans Commander has instituted a more military displine in an effort to beat the Americans at their own game. He will operate the North Koreans like an organized military resistance with Rules of Engagement and strategy to not only drive the Marines from Korea, but crush them in spirit and morale.

[Producer's Note: We realize there is
nothing "fun" or entertaining about the horrors North Koreans have caused, and ARE causing, for the people of
Korea, the U.S. the world, and our own military. We
also recognize that players choosing to play on this side
are not making a political statement, endorsing or
supporting terrorists, but are just picking an opposing side
of a military style scenario game. "Game" being the key word
there. We all play this game in honor of our military forces
who risk their lives everyday in a conflict against real
world terrorists. Please don't misinterpret our desire to
produce this as anything other than an opportunity to
educate, entertain and raise money for a military family in
need.]

"The men in First Recon battalion
are cocky, obnoxious bastards.

They think
of themselves as the Marine Corps cowboys.
They evolved as jacks-of-all-trades, trained
to observe, hunt and kill in any
environment. They are our special forces."

U.S. Marines
If you love a challenge, then the Marines is the best
side for you. They
will need to maintain communication, discipline and operate within
their given guidelines to score their points. You will
should use mil-sim gear such as multi-cam, jungle or
military style camouflage, a tactical vest, and a canteen or
camelback. We
would also suggest a radio. Field discipline has been an issue in the past, rotating out troops for resupply, lunches, following the commander's orders. The new commander will need his Marines tough, able to do what is needed and ready to follow his orders into the heart of battle at all times.

The Marines will make deals with
locals, but only to accomplish their long
term goal. Get Kim Jung Un, eradicate the North Korean presence
in South Korea, and fulfill their missions so they can get out of Korea; while winning the hearts and minds of the Korean citizens. America needs to come away as saviors, not conquering invaders. Granted, they still need to win and survive!

"We're like America's little
pit-bull. They beat it, they starve it, and
once in a while they let it out to attack
somebody"
